Topics addressed include: * how to pass the time while waiting in line 2 hours for »

Brian Ward and I taped Episode 53 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience last night, joined by Steve Hayward from his lonely outpost of conservatism in Boulder. The main topic, as you might expect, is Syria. Despite that serious focus, it is a fun episode, including a Loon of the Week–our president, unfortunately–and a lesson in how fascism and conservative blogs are virtually indistinguishable, from Jim Clyburn. You can listen to the »

If you missed Episode 51 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience over the weekend, here is another chance to catch up with Brian Ward and me.

This is how I described Episode 51 on Saturday: Brian Ward »

Brian Ward and I recorded Episode 51 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience this morning. Topics include: Detroit’s bankruptcy, and why it is the GOP’s fault, despite the city’s having no Republican officeholders for half a century; the sequelae to the George Zimmerman trial, including Juror B29, and why juror remorse is not unusual; the return of Anthony Weiner, and what is the deal, anyway, with his wife? And, of course, the »

Brian Ward and I taped Episode 50 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience a few hours ago. With the George Zimmerman jury still deliberating, we recapped the case and its cultural and political, as well as legal, significance. We had a fun conversation with guest Jeff Johnson, who is seeking the Republican nomination to take on Minnesota’s appalling governor, Mark Dayton. Our Loon of the Week was a poet–well, you can be »

This morning Brian Ward and I recorded Episode 49 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience. It was a busy week in the news: Supreme Court decisions, immigration, the George Zimmerman trial.

Brian Ward and I return with a special Memorial Day episode of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience. We talk about the scandals of the day and award our Loon of the Week prize to a dim-witted Democratic senator. But the highlight is our interview with guest Adam Carolla–actor, comedian and the number one podcaster in America. (We are hoping some of that will rub off on us.) Carolla talks about what it »

Brian Ward and I convened on the first real Spring day here in Minnesota. Congressman Tom Cotton was our guest; you shouldn’t miss this episode of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience, as we talked with Tom about the Boston Marathon massacre, immigration and gun control. Tom’s view of what the House is likely to do with the immigration issue gives me more optimism about our country’s future than I have had for »

Last night, Brian Ward and I recorded Episode 43 of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience. We were guest-free, so it was just Brian and I riffing on the news of the day, along with other topics–high school dance, the weather and meteors, with more than a dash of horse meat. Serious topics included the State of the Union, the ongoing mystery of Barack Obama, and the Pope’s resignation. We wrapped up with »

Given that Glenn was the first person (as far as »

This is how Brian described the podcast over at Ricochet: The Hinderaker-Ward Experience (HWX) podcast »
